Is it really possible to look five years younger in flash without surgery? Beauty Director Kate Mahon chose five women and put them in the hands of five cosmetic surgeons to see how much difference five weeks of non-invasive facial treatments would make to their appearance. You be the judge.
“I was a sun worshipper up until about 10 years ago, but by then the damage had been done,” says Robyn. “I just wanted to feel better about my appearance and look the best that I could at my age.”
The doctor:
Dr Steven Liew, Medical Director, Shape Clinic and Medispa, Darlinghurst, NSW
The treatment plan:
An aggressive skincare routine using medical grade vitamin A, Jan Marini products with Kojic acid and glycolic acid. IPL and Nd:Yag laser was used to reduce skin redness and refresh the skin.
Botox to reshape the eyebrow, to smooth crow’s feet and under eyelids and to the upper lip to reduce fine lines. It was used in the jaw muscle and neck to reshape the lower face. Juvederm dermal fillers for lips, improve upper lip lines, to replenish volume loss and uplift cheeks, while fine injections of Juvederm were made over the cheeks to decrease crepiness and the ‘accordion’ lines on cheeks.”
The Beau Visage Report:
Pre-treatment: Skin age: 57 years.
Post treatment: Skin age: 45 years.
Difference: 12 years
The verdict:
“Robyn’s skin is softer, smoother and more even in tone,” says Dr Liew. “Her facial shape is more oval, which is more aesthetically pleasing, and she looks more refreshed, energised and youthful. Her eyes stare less and she looks happier rather than angry. Her jawline is smoother and firmer and she no longer has jaw pain, teeth grinding and headaches. There is a definitely ‘wow’ factor with Robyn. She looks five to 10 years younger.”
